Afternoon Stock Market.
New York Stock Exchange.

New YORK, June 28.-Opening stock
market very exciting, this morning and
all big operations seem to be at war
with each other. There has been no
time since the days of Drew, Little and
other old time operators, that individ-
uais made sucn efforts personally In
stock exchange as at the close yesterday
and opening this morning. Reading
was a scene OF the greatest excitement,
and bulls did the best to support it, but
attacks were too rapid, and they were
forced to give away. 1t ope0ed at per
cent. off, at l29. There were no buying
orders whatever, and it declined per
cent. at one time, andi.s now Oft at per
cent. from Yesterdays close. Pacific
mail is also being raided successfully by
bears, and is now down at AN. The
story is that all big operators are gun
ming for each other.
NuoN.-There has been considerable
feverishness displayed in the stock
market, but prices became frmer, and
Pacific Mail rallied over one per cent.
Manhattan, however. after advancing
to 128 reached 124. Market now quiet,
though hardly steady. Money 1-16 per
cent per diem and interest. Bar silver
955s.
Reports of the shipment of 81, COO COO
in gold have had good effect on the
market, and shorts" generally been
covering. Foreign bankers report
large number of bills offering, and
further decline in exchange rates is
considered probable. They estimate
shipments of gold from Europe in the
next ten days at S. 100000. Money still
scarce, and call loans are being made at
rates equal to 80 per cent. per annum.
LATER-The stock market underwent
a sudden and decided change for the
better TO day, but it was feverjsh and in
the early hours quite excited. The
pressure was renewed in the forenoon,
and many disquieting rumors were put
in circulation. This was ended before
noon, and it was then given out that
Field had transferred large block OF
Manhattan stock to Gould, and later
said 20 be again under the market.
Room traders and professionals fel-
lowed the lead of London. and many of
the former who were very conspicuous
previously in hammering prices,
became equally prominent in bid
ding them up. Shorts were covered
all around, Money was again
V-1y light. but eased up perceptibly to-
ward the end of the day; while there
was a further reduction of n per cent.
in sterling exchange rates. The early
drive was specially heavy against Paci-
fc Mail and Gould stocks. but later
they were very prominent in the rally.
Manhattan opened at 1881 and fell to
100, bur later recovered 10 100, clearing
l28 on sales of only 3,l00 shares. AL
most the entire active list is higher this
evening, the exception being Pacific

Names of southern Negroes.

A Yankee friend of mine in speak
ing of the Limekiln club SAYS: 1T is
inimitable, only that the names of the
members are so exaggerated. When
i wrote her list of the queer names
that have become so familiar to me
from much hearing. she declared that
she would retract her opinion of the
Limekiln names being exaggerated.
The negroes generally take their
names either from their surroundings
or obtain them from the white people,
often mixing up names in the most
incongruous style Lily is the favor
tie name for the blacklist pickaninny
among them. Our old washerwoman
named her only child Mary Mandy
Selma Pleasant Delightful. A bow
legged young descendant of Ham re-
joices in the name of Shadrach Mes
bach Abednego- though he is gener-
ally known as Shad.
A fond young mother could not de-
eide what to call her first son, so in
her dilemma applied to a young lady,
who told her to call him Nillipus
Wallapus. The name tickled her
fancy and now Willipus Wallapus is
added to the list. This same negro
has since become the mother of a
daughter, and in speaking of her few
days since says: Il amt sot on no
name for her yit, but I'll either call her
Queen Victoria or Mrs. Cleveland ="
She also has stepson, an overgrown
fellow of IL or IS, who bears the sweet
name of Rosebud Tabb. But perhaps
the most ridiculous names are found
in those of the children of half-witted
negro near this place. There are three
of them, named respectively, Heaven,
Hell and Moses Smote the Water. A
party of picnickers were very much
startled in passing her house one day
to hear the following command:
Look hyar, Heaven, you niggah. you
go down to He'll and git dat ar dipper
wot dey got down dere. 1t was only
after a thorough investigation that she
could be understood. -Atabanla Cor.

CASE OF PREMATURE BURIAL.
A Singular Occurrence Which Took Place
in Paris-Horrible Affair.

A Singular Occurrence Which Took Place
in Paris-Horrible Affair.
Another case of premature burial
worthy of being analyzed in the realistic
manner of lola has occurred in France.
An elderly woman who lived at an Old
World place called st. Ouen La Rouerie
recently fell i'll and, as her friends
thought. died. The funeral took place,
and as the gravedigger was preparing to
lower the coffin into the earth he heard
means issuing from inside the lugubri-
Gus four boards inclosing the presumed
corpse.
Then followed a scene which was an
exact counterpart of what occurred about
twelve months ago in another rural part
of France. The gravedigger, half fright
ened of the probable ghost which his
imagination conjured up and partly awed
by the requirements enacted by the law
in circumstances such as those in which
he found himself placed, left the coffin in
the care of the mourners and went of
with his somber story to NJ. lie Marie.
That rural dignitary, having duly donned
his scarf of office and summoned the vii
lage doctor. proceeded tothe local Gods
acre. The coffin was opened and il
was discovered that the woman had just
died from fright, having awakened from
a trance to find herself hemmed in be-
tween the terrible deal planks.
When horrible scenes like this are re-
peated 1t is time for the authorities and
the public at large to take into considera-
ton the invention of the ingenious I'M
dertaker who has adopted as his motto,
"No more premature burials. This
practical person offers to supply in all
cases of doubtful death an apparatus by
means of which those who may have had
the misfortune to be buried alive may
not only inhale fresh air ON their awak-
ening, but also communicate by signal
with the world which has left them foi
dead.-London Telegraph.

An Absurd Bird.

Kiwi-kiwi is the creature s real name,
but scientific men call it apteryx, which
is Greek word meaning wingleSs, be-
cause, though bird, it has no wings. 1t
not only has no wings, but it has no tail
not even so much as an apology for
one. And. as if that were not enough,
it has no feathers worthy of the name.
Its quills are covered with soft down for
about one-third of their length, and then
are fringed with hairlike webs out to the
ends, which are sharply pointed. 1t is
only as large as a common domestic fowl,
but it has much stronger and stouter legs
and bigger feet.
When it sleeps in the daytime-for
naturally it is odd enough to choose the
wrong time for sleeping-it rests its long
bill ON the ground, and SO makes itself
look like strange sort of three legged
stool. Most other birds use their beaks
or their wings or their spurs TO fight with,
but it would be foolish to expect any
such natural proceeding from the kiwi;
and, in fact, its plan of fighting is to
kick. 1t is very fond of earth worms,
and one of its ways of procuring them is
worthy of SO odd bird. 1t thumps the
earth with its big feet and if there are
any worms in the vicinity, up they come
to discover what is the matter.
1t is a cousin to the ostrich, and though
its plumage has no such value for us as
its large relatives has, it is very highly
valued by the natives of New Zealand
The kiwi has very tough skin, which
when it is properly dressed, makes a good
leather.-St. Nicholas.

Habits of Hermit Crabs.

These crabs are very quarrelsome and
will fight desperately, especially if two
specimens be elected from their habita-
ton and one of the shells removed. AT
last the stronger puts the weaker to flight,
seizes upon the shell and whips into it as
if shot from spring. The homeless one
tries in vain to pull him out, for at each
attempt he only retreats farther and
farther into the shell, pressing his legs
firmly against it and blocking up the en-
trance with his fighting claw, which is
always very much larger than its fellow.
In consequence of this combative nature
the crab is sometimes called by the name
of ''soldier.
Sometimes have caused much amuse-
ment by removing hermit crab from its
habitation and supplying it with shell
about two sizes too small for the accom-.
mediation of its body. No other protec-
ton being obtainable, the crab picks w
the shell, twists it round and round with
marvellous dexterity and quickness, meas.
ures its capacity with its legs, and at last
makes the best of a bad business by fore
ing the tip of its body into it as far as
can be done and then walks about discon
solately, knowing that the greater part OF
its soft person is unprotected. When il
has had time to become thoroughly un
comfortable large shell should be placed
in the vessel. In a moment the crat
pounces ON it, twists it about, and with {
movement almost too quick for the eye
to follow drops the little shell and jerks
itself into the large one, where it rest:
with an air of absolute content which il

the merchant TO a reporter who had

frightened. y
ssWhy don't you turn the light out,
then, or move the curtains?
Because there is really no danger.
s.You are taking great chances. y
ssYou wouldn't think so If you knew
what that curtain is made of. 1t IS a
new French invention that has been put
on the American market recently and
am the agent. The lace is dipped in a
solution which makes it incombushble.
Experiments are now being made to de
termine whether dyed goods can be 50
treated. At present only white wooden
and cotton fabrics can be treated in that
way"
What is the preparation?'
81 can't tell you exactly, but there
are sulphate of ammonia, carbonate
of ammonia, boracic acid. borax and
starch in it. The goods are dipped
in this while it is boiling hot and become

s'Indeed it is. And if it can be used
on all goods there is no telling how many
fires may be avoided. If all curtains,

other involuntary noise. After this nearly

sociaIistic Experiment in Australia.

1t is claimed that Socialism is being
practically experimental with in New
South Wales, Australia. There is no
state church. and no hereditary aristoc-
racy; suffrage is free, and there is no
property qualification for members of
parliament. Eight hours said Lord
Darlington, the governor, in a recent
speech, ''are considered long enough
working hours; public houses are shut ON
Sundays, and museums are opened; the
sale and transfer of land is made very
easy by statutory enactment; men unable
to find employment are provided with
work by the government. and education
is practically free. In fact, if we leave
out the demand Tor free daily meal for
each child attending school. and pro-
posal that steps be taken to organize labor
under skilled direction on uncultivated
lands, we find state of things exactly
similar TO that suggested to memorial
presented last year to Lord Salisbury by

A Big Bar of Bullion.

The second largest bar of bullion ever
melted in the United States assay office
in Helena was handled the other day by
Meter Meyendorf. 1t came from the Jay
Gould mine, weighed about 2, 500 ounces,
was a little over 500 fine in gold and was
worth about $27, 900. The gas furnaces
were not nearly large enough to handle
it, and one of the great coke furnaces,
now seldom used, was heated up. When
it was thoroughly reduced to liquid,
molten mass, set Of grippers was at
tached to the melting pot, and by the aid
of chains and pulleys it was lifted out of
the bed of burning coke and charcoal
and dumped into mold. When it had
changed from liquid into solid but
red hot bar it was immersed in water
until it had sufficiently cooled to be han
died. The operation, which included
several interesting features other than
those detailed, was intently watched by
a small party of visitors, who were much
interested in seeing S27, 900 changed from
a solid to liquid form and then to a
solid again. The only larger bar ever
handled in the office was one of about
$500 ounces, but several have been
melted of larger value. Since Jan. / the

many more than for the corresponding
period of last year, and of considerably
larger aggregate value. hide

Tardy Legislation.

AT last the game butchers of the great
west have stopped killing buffalo. The
buffalo are all dead! The time has now
arrived for the territories to enact strin-
gent laws against the killing of these an
imals, and | am pleased to see that the
Montana legislature has just rushed
through a bill to that effect only ten
years behind its time! Next year, when
the last buffalo of the eighty head still
alive in the Panhandle of Texas is hunted
down and killed. it will be time for the
Lone Star state to frame bill for his
protection; but its final passage can
hardly be expected until 1897.
While the territories are passing laws
against the killing of buffalo, they ought
also, by all means, to make the killing
of mastodons between Aug. Is and Dec.
l, punishable by fine or Imprisonment.
They should also pass laws against the
shipping of mastodon carcasses out of
their respective territorial lmits.-The
